additional sources (Harker's Island Sewer Co — 5 DT/yr and Kingsbridge II — 5 DT/yr) to bring the
total amount of residuals to be certified to 120 dry tons/year.
The sludge analysis for the new sources indicate metals are below ceiling concentration limits and
sodium adsorption rates (SAR) results were below 10. Pathogen and vector attraction reduction
requirements will be met by lime stabilization. In 2018, only 31.07 total dry tons were land
applied to 24.7 of 45 available acres. Field loading rates for metals and PAN are being calculated,
along with cumulative pollutant loading rates and they are compliant.
The WiRO recommends issuance of the permit modification and renewal.
